I tend to agree with Curt. There are fisheries that I like to participate in and it is almost all freshwater and (ideally) walk and wade. I really don't like fishing from boats very much. Saltwater fishing in WA (Westport, Puget Sound, Hood Canal) have been generally colossal wastes of time. Great birding, [Bleeeeep!] fishing.

I'm retired and there are plenty of fun things to do besides fishing. So, when I go fishing I have high expectations for the experience. And, that is hard to find here but it easier out of state.
